Abstract

This talk is centred around what supports girls to pick STEM subjects, we are interested to see if the schools they attend or parents influence in their selection of subject areas and careers. Hopefully this will promote some interesting discussions and will lead onto further research work to allow us how to support or raise awareness of STEM subjects with girls.
